Vintage Sweaters

How can I lighten vintage wool sweaters that have yellowed with age to get the yellow out?

Feb 16, 2007 by sweetiepie | Posted in Cleaning & Laundry

Purchased 2 beautiful icelandic vintage sweaters each has a cream background but the cream looks a bit yellowed with age. Does anyone know of a way to minimize this look or remove/ restore the true color. 1 sweater is wool the other a wool blend. I heard

Bluing gives a blue hue to white which makes the whiter look whiter. I would test it on a small hidden bit of the sweater first. Ammonia and water might help remove the yellow too, test that first also.

It's been a wonderful experience leading you all through it. I learned some things about my own knitting and my knitting processes along the way. I hope I've helped you gain confidence in your own knitting skills and your ability to resize a sweater pattern, and hope you'll want to seek out more vintage knitting patterns in the future!
